Description for Towards Dual and Targeted Cancer Therapy with Novel Phthalocyanine-based Photosensitizers
Hardback. This book explores different approaches to develop phthalocyanine-based photosensitizers toward dual and targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT), with a view to improving their specific delivery to cancerous tissues and efficiency in PDT. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 202 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJCL; PNR; PSB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 15. Weight in Grams: 473.
Janet Lau's thesis describes her studies into the use of phthalocyanine-based photosensitizers in combined chemo- and photodynamic therapy (PDT) and targeted PDT. In order to carry out this study, Lau uses several approaches: conjugation with a chemotherapeutic oxaliplatin derivative, use of a polyamine ligand 2 with a view to targeting the polyamine transporters over-expressed in tumor cells, and employment of a quencher that can inhibit their photodynamic activity but can still be removed under a tumor-associated environment such as low pH and high thiol concentration. This thesis reports dual activatable photosensitizers for the first time. Overall the studies included are ... Read more
